Lyrics

Jay-Z

I hear you be the block, but I'm the lights that keeps the streets onNotice you the type that like to keep them on a leash thoughI'm known to walk alone, but I'm alone for a reasonSending me a drink ain't appeasing, believe me

Come harder; this won't be easyDon't doubt yourself; trust me, you need meThis ain't no shoulder with a chip or an egoBut what you think they all mad at me for?

You need a real woman in your life (that's a good look)Taking care of home and still fly (that's a good look)And I'm-a help you build up your account (That's a good look, better yet a hood look; ladies that's a good look)Believe me, when you're in them big meetings for the mils (that's a good look)You take me just to complement the deal (that's a good look)And anything you cop, I split the bill (That's a good look, better yet a hood look; ladies, that's a good look)Believe me

I can do for you what Martin did for the peopleRan by the man, but the women keep the tempoIt's very seldom that you're blessed to find your equalStill play my part and let you take the lead roleBelieve me

I'll follow; this could be easyI'll be the help whenever you need meI see your hustle; with my hustle I can keep youFocused on your focus, I can feed you

You need a real woman in your life (that's a good look)Taking care of home and still fly (that's a good look)I can help you build up your account (That's a good look, better yet a hood look; ladies that's a good look)Believe me, when you're in them big meetings for the mils (that's a good look)You take me just to complement the deal (that's a good look)Anything you cop, I split the bill (That's a good look, better yet a hood look; ladies, that's a good look)Believe me

[Chorus]

I be the b-boy who infiltrated all the corporate dudesThey call shots, I call audiblesJacob the jeweler, Bubbles, Loraine Schwartz sorta dudeIt's big ballin', baby, when I'm courtin' youI'm talking spa bags and fly pads and rooms at the BloombergAnd rumors you on the verge of a new marriage'Cause that rock on your finger's like a tumorYou can't fit your hand in your new purseIt's humorous to me; they watchin' and we just yachtin'Island hoppin' off the Omafi coastMafioso, Hov, baby, you ever seen SaturnNo, not the car, but everywhere we are?You sure to see starsThis is high-level, not eye-levelMy bezzle courtesy of Auda MarvI'll order yours tomorrow; now look at the time I saved yaMama, let me upgrade ya

Just when you think you had it allBig ends, car notes, collectin' carsPicture your life elevated with meMake you my project celebrityI'll keep your name hot in them streets

It's that little glimpse of lightThat makes the diamond really shineAnd you already is a starBut unless you're flawlessThen your dynasty ain't complete without a chief like me
